What is a 'Day Case'?

I know it sounds stupid but what is a day case and how is it different from normal surgery? xx

Day case is when you are just in hospital for the day honey,its cheaper than an overnight stay,xxxx

Oh is it? is that dangerous to do though?? what would u recommend? Overnight stay or day case? xxx

Hi, I think it depends how far away you live from the hospital. I lived 300 miles away from my hospital at Preston so I stayed in overnight. However, I coud have just had a day case and stayed at a near by hotel. I was there on my own tho so decided to pay the extra and stay overnight. You are well looked after and checked on all the time but it depends what you prefer to do really xx

Your surgeon will tell you what he recommends you to do honey,ask him at consultation,he will base your stay on the procedure you are having,xxx

I done a day case. Checked in at 7.30 am. Left by 6 pm. Stayed a near by hotel and my boyfriend drove back the next morning. Xx

How did u find it emilyjane? how much cheaper was it for u? and also did u have closed surgery? xx

I’m having an overnight stay xx

It was lovely. I was at Highate I loved the whole day and was sad to leave lol but the hotel I stayed at was nice to. Hendon hall it was only down the road. It was fine. It was cheaper but can’t remember how much my partner paid for it all.

What do u mean closed surgery? Xx

staceylouise90 is having rhinoplasty.xxxx

Oh sorry Stacey didn’t realise. It’s normally all boobie talk on here lol. Good luck. Xxx

yeah u can have open or closed for a nose job, did u have a boob job then?? that would be my second procedure lol Ive started saving and should have the money soon, fingers crossed they say yes to my loan application, should have a lovely new nose for my birthday next year xx

Ah that’s nice. I don’t know anything about the nose job thing. So I wondered what u ment when u said open or closed lol

I had my boobs done yes . Xx

We will all cross our fingers for you staceylouise90,xxx

did it hurt much when u had ur boobs done?? i’ve always wanted my boobs done but i’m abit scared about things that can go wrong with them my bf dont want me to have my baps done cuz he thinks i’ll run off with someone else lol and thanx tina, just hope it becomes a reality soon xxx

I had no pain whatsoever. None at all. But other people say they had a small bit of pain. It’s different for everyone I just guess I was a lucky one . Xxx

I had a daycase but took abit longer for the GA to wear off on me so they kept me in overnight free of charge. If you arent ok to go home, most hospitals wont let you and keep you in. I was told i could have either and said i could only afford to do a daycase and Mr K was happy with that saying if your not feeling 100% we keep you in anyway xx

How much cheaper is it for a day case? i think i would rather stay in overnight just to make sure everythings okay xx

It’s £450 cheaper LOL!! I paid £60 for me and the other half to stay in a nearby hotel so much cheaper than going as an overnight xx

is it?? i’d be scared to go home afterwards tho…just can’t wait to book it and get it done xx

No need to be scared hun. If you live far from the hospital they advise you stay close by, hence why i stayed in a hotel in town. But they need to sign you off in the hospital first before they let you go. You have to be able to eat something and go to the loo and not be woozy etc, otherwise they keep you in xx
